Default Power Wire-- Awesome

My mechanic just installed the Power Wire on my 5.9 and all I can say is awesome. I wasn't expecting much from this mod, but what a difference it has made with performance even after my current mods (headers, intake, Superchip, Fastman throttle body, and 4:56 gears). It is definitely a lot peppier across the power band and it seems my truck is a lot quicker off the line. It's no placebo effect. Definitely recommend this mod to all, especially to the owners of 2000-2001 5.9 Rams since some people believe that the Power Wire mod is only for 3rd generation Rams. Extremely impressed and happy with this inexpensive mod. Thanks Air Ram for this wonderful product.

Hopefully I can explain this correctly, but with more accurate information go to Air Ram's website at www.AIRRAM.com. Also, you can do a search for Power Wire and see what other members have said about this mod. It is essentially a wire that connects to the intake air temperature sensor and tricks the computer to believe that the engine is 20 degrees cooler. This causes the computer to advance the timing and more fuel is added at wot. The best way to describe what type of performance the Power Wire provides is this example: My truck feels a lot stronger and peppier when first started in the morning but that peppiness eventually disappates when the engine warms up. Well, with the Power Wire the peppy response/power stays constant even after the engine warms up. I'm impressed because my truck has responded strongly with this $40 mod, especially at wot. Love the added hp it provides in addition to my other mods. Hope this helps.

so what happens when you have a 180 deg t-stat installed??? open loop mode, poor mileage and it'll throw a code for not being to operating temp in the specified time.

take it out and put in a 180 deg t-stat...
